Downloading to the PanelView 1200 Terminal

To download means to transfer an application file from your computer to a
PanelView 1200 terminal so that the application can be run.

Important

If your terminal contains an application file in the user EPROM,

you can still download a different application. This new application will
reside in application memory, for temporary use. Note that the application
will be erased and replaced by the file in the User EPROM memory at the
next power-up. Likewise, if a PCMCIA card with a valid application file is
installed in the PCMCIA slot, this application will erase and replace the
downloaded application.

If the terminal has an EEPROM installed (with or without an application
file), downloading an application file to the terminal will automatically
copy the application to the EEPROM, except if the EEPROM is 64K and
the application file’s memory limit is larger than 64K. If this is the case,
the application file in the EEPROM is invalidated. This ensures that the
application file in the EEPROM won’t overwrite the newly downloaded
application file at the next power cycle.

To download an application file to a PanelView 1200 terminal:

1

Connect the PanelView 1200 terminal to your computer with the
Upload/Download cable.

2

Set the PanelView 1200 terminal to Configuration Mode. The
Configuration Mode Menu appears.
